trucks awesome. i finally got my cam and everything installed in same truck as yours only thing different is im still on stock heads and intake which i want to upgrade next. Now i see why you were saying traction is an issue cause i now have that problem.

but keep up the good work cant wait to see it if you turbo it. something id like to do one day but wont be able to do anytime soon.
